The article provides a guide on accessing and managing activities within a community platform. Users can start by clicking the "Activities" icon on the taskbar, where they can view details such as activity title, community, category, status, topic, teams, group, and more. Projects from "The Research Engine" are highlighted in purple and accessible via links, while inaccessible ones appear grey. The article also outlines various actions available in the Activities section, including exporting data, archiving, closing, deleting, and copying activities. Users can download all activity details to a spreadsheet using the "Download List" button.
Click the Activities icon on the left-hand taskbar to get started. The name of the default tab, when you open this Activities section, is also Activities.
You can see details of all the activities in your community.
Projects created in The Research Engine will show on this Activities listing page in purple for mods who have access to them. To access the Research Engine project, click on the purple link. If a moderator cannot access The Research Engine, the link will appear grey and display a message when you hover your mouse over the link, indicating that it cannot be clicked or opened.

Actions: Reference the Publishing Options article for more information on the Actions menu. From the Actions menu, you can:
- Export: Export your data.
- Archive: Archive an activity. Archiving an activity disables further participation, such as additional comments. The activity becomes read-only. However, all archived activities are visible to the entire community by default—even if the activity was only visible to (a) specific group(s).
- Close: Close an activity. This hides the activity from the community and prevents further participation.
- Delete: Delete an activity in instances where you do not want any record whatsoever.
- Copy: Copy an Activity to duplicate a discussion when publishing to different groups.
